Segment 3 & 4 – Catholic father challenges bishop over denial of Communion to his family while kneeling
“A Catholic family of eight was recently denied Holy Communion while kneeling while attending Mass at a church in the Diocese of Boise. Both the local priest and bishop refused to acknowledge that the denial of the sacrament was a grave violation of canon law.” Scott L. Smith, Jr. is the head of that family and he joins us today to share the story.
Scott L. Smith, Jr. is a Louisiana author, attorney, and father of five. He is also a blogger (see below) and co-host of the Catholic Nerds Podcast.
